Build your own. Dell is overpriced for what they are.

There are many online guides for how to do it. [url:5e523]http://www.anandtech.com[/url:5e523] has a guides section, try it. They are infantly upgradable because the componants can be replaced one at a time at later points. Unlike company computers which actually make upgrades harder, in some cases impossible. Like when compaq used it own rail system to mount HD's, CD roms, and used "bigfoot" HD's. You had to buy parts from them to install new crap, and the wiring sometimes didnt support it whatso ever, so you had to fix that. Over all stock PC's are a hastle you can do away with, all by obtaining some knowledge, which never hurt anyone.
